Kisa's delicate wrist was grabbed by Gilbert before her palm could touch him. Gilbert stared at her angry face and chuckled casually, "Why? Do you just want to slap me after waiting for a long time?"Kisa champed with rage. She wanted to draw her hand away from his grasp, but Gilbert had no intention of letting go. He even tugged maliciously.Kisa was already weak. She bumped into his arms across the table immediately when he tugged her. His chest was hard. Kisa felt dizzy after the bump. Gilbert sneered above her head, "You're so weak. How could you fight with me?"Kisa gritted her teeth and struggled to get out of his arms. She looked at him angrily. "You stick up for Sharon. It's okay that you don't believe she wanted to kill my assistant. But I didn't expect you to publish this in the newspaper, and you shifted the blame to J & K Film Group by saying we are slandering GK's celebrities. Humph! Gilbert, why didn't I figure out you were such a treacherous person before?"The n
The newspaper fell on the ground. The first thing Kisa saw was she slapped Sharon with a cold expression.'I just realized I was as pure as Gilbert said. I was full of enthusiasm and anger. But I only knew to ask for an explanation from others or even beat them when encountering such a thing. I never think of why they should give me an explanation.'Was it because he is Gilbert? That's why I felt mad and aggrieved. I always think he should give me a justification or an explanation. But who am I to Gilbert? Why must he give me a justification or an explanation?'As he said, would I rush to others angrily and ask for an explanation if it did by someone else?'Ha-ha. It's ridiculous to think about it.'Kisa raised her eyes and looked at Gilbert. She laughed at herself and said, "You're right. I appreciated the lesson."She hatred his ruthlessness and despised his treacherous, mischievous, and what he did. But she had to admit that what he said was the truth.The competition in busi
The first person Kisa saw when opened her eyes was Kelvin. Kelvin wore a white coat, hand in his pocket, and leaned laid-back at the window. "How long has it been since you last came here? I can't believe you become my patient again."Kisa looked around the room and realized it was the Kooper residence. She felt that the blanket on her reeked of Gilbert. Kisa removed it and got out of bed without hesitation. She staggered to her feet before standing upright.Kelvin looked at her with no means of helping and sneered, "You are recovered, but your body is still weak. You better lay down."'How could I lay down on Gilbert's bed?' Kisa thought."Thanks for saving me," Kisa said and walked out of the room, every second there was torture to her. Just as she walked to the door, two kids bumped into her, nearly tumbling her.She held onto the door frame and saw that it was Ada and Andrew. She missed them a lot as it had been a while since she saw them.Kisa's facial expression turned gent
Kisa saw Gilbert walk out of the kitchen with an apron on him. He seemed unperturbed when he held a dish in his hand and put it on the dining table.Kisa looked in the same direction and discovered that the dining table was filled with different types of dishes. The food seemed appetizing.She furrowed her brows, unable to believe that the dishes were prepared by Gilbert. She remembered he had not known how to cook."Woah, Gilbert. I rarely see you cook," Kelvin said while he glanced at Kisa meaningfully, "Thanks to you, I got the chance to taste his cooking. It's very uncommon to see Gilbert cook. I'm going to eat more later."Gilbert did not spare them a glance and took off his apron. "Alright, let's eat."Kelvin smiled and helped Madalyn to her seat while Andrew and Ada dragged Kisa to the table. Just as Gilbert was about to take a seat, Andrew and Ada stopped him and pulled him to Kisa's side. Kisa slightly frowned. 'What are these two doing?'The corner of Gilbert's lips ros
"Hey… I remembered that I had an undone scene. I have to go now." As Kisa was talking, she realized she had received no news from the crew today. As the female lead, she should have had a lot of scenes to do, but her phone was quiet today. Moreover, Jensen and Lea did not call her even after she had been gone for a day.Just as she was about to leave, Gilbert said indifferently, "I informed your crew that you're not going today as you're sick."Andrew was the happiest with the news. He quickly pulled Kisa back to her seat. Kisa smiled awkwardly. "I-I should go home. My friends must be worried about me.""Your friends?" Gilbert sneered. "You're talking about Jensen and your assistant, right? I have informed them about your situation too.""Woah, Ma'am. Look at Daddy being so good to you!" Andrew kept praising Gilbert, "Daddy had never been so caring to anyone else. You're the first, Ma'am!"Upon hearing the kids praising Gilbert, Kisa felt chills in her heart. The worst thing was t
Ma'am, could you pick us up from kindergarten tomorrow?" Kisa was stunned at Andrew's sudden request.Kisa noticed Madalyn's irritated expression and said to Andrew, "I'm sorry. I'm really busy these days. I don't think I'll have the time to pick you up."Andrew's eyes dimmed. Ada, the crybaby, instantly pouted and cried. "Daddy said Ma'am get off work early every day. You don't want to pick us up. Is it because you hate us?""Emm…" Kisa could no longer figure Gilbert out. 'He even told the kids my schedule?!'The moment Ada started to cry, Madalyn put down her cutlery and poured scorn on Kisa. "It's your honor when the kids ask you to pick them up. Others will be happy to accept it if they are given the chance. Carrot or stick, it's your pick!"Kisa insinuated in her heart, 'She must be referring to Sharon.'At this moment, Gilbert gave Kisa a half smile, "I'm aware that that news is unfavorable to your company. When J & K Film Group fails to beat GK Pictures in business, it onl
Kisa finally remembered how unlikable this man was. 'Things like these should be kept in the heart. Why did he have to say it out loud?'Kisa snickered at him, "Oh my. It must be a hard decision for you just now." Andrew and Ada quickly pulled Kisa and spoke up for Gilbert when they saw that things were going south. "Ma'am, that's just the way he talks. Don't take his words seriously.""That's right. Daddy wanted to send you back, but he just likes to make people angry."Kisa was speechless. It really was effortless for these two to compliment Gilbert in front of her. She glanced at Gilbert's indifferent face and sighed. 'How does he not feel guilty when the kids praise him?'Kisa patted both their heads and smiled. "I'll go back now. You should head back too.""Don't forget to pick us up tomorrow." Andrew and Ada looked at Kisa with anticipation.Kisa nodded. "I'll remember."Kisa then walked toward Jensen. Jensen had long put out his cigarette. He gave Gilbert a half smile. "T
"Hmm…" Andrew thought for a while. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. "I have an idea," he said. "Tomorrow, after school, we…" he leaned into Ada's ears and continued.Outside the yard, Jensen was about to get into the car when Madalyn suddenly called out to him, "C-Come for dinner when you have the time, Jensen.""Alright," he replied and proceeded to get into the car.Madalyn had a complex and sad look on her face as she watched him drive away. She knew she would never hear him affectionately call her "grandma" again. His reply was just a form of pleasantry, something people say. She knew that in the end, she had lost her grandson. At that moment, she had doubts about whether she had done the right thing back then.Upstairs, Gilbert stared intently at the car that was speeding away while he held his fists tightly. Jensen had opened the door for Kisa and even put his hand in between her head and the car frame to ensure she would not bump her head. 'Looking back, I've nev
